It might well be a bargaining chip in leading the Kentucky legislature to allowing racetrack casinos.

Unfair advantage and all that.

Nothing like a couple of monopolies duking it out legislatively to determine the public good in a free market.

I'll be glad when they extend that big road up Spring Street Hill through the neighborhood and convert it to one-way so we can connect with the interstate. It "really is a major artery" after all.

Tolls on eastern and downtown bridges are going to divert a lot of traffic to the area. Cutting that road off prematurely isn't just a matter of convenience for a handful of residents but a safety "risk" we can't afford not to address.
